They added, “Due to the diversion, the unhygienic drain hasoverflowed and the road heading towards Mendhar police station, sub-divisionalmagistrate’s office and local court complex, is submerged. This has causedserious concern among the hundreds of people who commute on the road every day.Besides, the murky water is also entering business establishments.”
The locals urged upon the district administration to lookinto the issue and redress their grievance.
